angel eyes on dads drivers' side headlight went out, he's like AHHH THATS NO BIG DEAL, I'LL TAKE IT TO <incompetent oil change boob/exhaust monkey>

I showed him this video
BORKED

Oh wow...

I have to say, removing the front bumper on my car wasn't particularly hard. There's two huge bolts and a couple of screws, and it slides right off. Hard to believe the dealer would charge hundreds of dollars for this.

Also, I finally got my notice today, a full year later, that BMW now has a replacement passenger airbag to replace the Takata Shrapnelmatic that came from the factory. Any idea if your car has had the recall done?

I'm sort of looking forward to taking my car in - maybe they'll give me an interesting loaner, so I don't have to sit there waiting on it.

I actually got the letter saying they had the parts for my car just this week. I'm sort of looking forward to taking the car in. I'm tempted to just wait on it, and browse the used lot, hoping one of their sales guys can talk me into replacing my Miata with a used 135i or something.

Edit: Oh, I already said this before... Hurrr...

Edit2: Since you've only just now bought your E46, they may not actually know you have it. You might call the nearest dealer and see if your VIN is affected, and try to get on the mailing list for updates. It seems that every single E46 was affected, so you may have to wait a while before they actually have a part for your car.
